INNOVACIÓN - "Es la nueva carrera espacial y quien la gane dominará la economía mundial", asegura el líder del Russian Quantum Center.

El jefe de Inteligencia Artificial de Google anuncia que para el último trimestre del año estará listo su Centro de Datos Cuánticos. Asegura también que este mismo 2019 se produciría al fin la supremacía cuántica, es decir, que los ordenadores cuánticos puedan resolver problemas que las más potentes máquinas informáticas con tecnología convencional no pueden.

Harmut Neven no parece un físico sino un rockero de la vieja escuela. Ropa negra, rapado como Michael Stipe, flaco y...

Los sistemas de traducción automática pueden ayudar a los lingüistas a comprender lenguas muertas. Por el momento, han conseguido traducir tablillas micénicas de hace más de tres mil años.

Una de las joyas más preciadas del Museo Británico es una piedra de poco más de un metro de alto por 75 centímetros de ancho que pesa más de 700 kilos. Una piedra que, a diferencia de buena parte de las obras de arte que alberga la galería, no está esculpida, sino tallada. La piedra de Rosetta no es famosa por su estética ni por su contenido literario, sino por lo que significó para descifrar los...

PANDÉMIE - Les vaccins contre la grippe seront-ils d'une efficacité redoutable à l'avenir ? Ils pourraient en tout cas être entièrement conçus par un programme d'intelligence artificielle (IA), comme une équipe de chercheurs australiens vient d'en mettre un au point.

On connaissait déjà l'importance des ordinateurs dans la conception de certains médicaments, mais une nouvelle étape vient d'être franchie par des chercheurs australiens de l'Université Flinders : ils ont mis au point un vaccin contre la grippe saisonnière entièrement conçu par un programme d'intelligence...

Medium Data Series - How Blockchain Will Improve Your Big Data

23 July, 2019

Dr Mark van Rijmenam

The rise of cloud storage has helped companies collect and manage massive amounts of data. Data comes from corporate systems, Internet of Things objects and unstructured sources like online forums. New analytics tools like Hadoop help companies make sense of that data.

Yet merely having data and analysis tools doesn’t mean the results of an analysis are meaningful. Getting real insights from data depends on the data being correct. With the many sources that feed into data lakes and the many transformations big data goes through to be processed, there are many possible ways for errors to be accidentally...

Forbes - How AI Accelerators Are Changing The Face Of Edge Computing

23 July, 2019

Janakiram MSV Contributor

AI has become the key driver for the adoption of edge computing. Originally, the edge computing layer was meant to deliver local compute, storage, and processing capabilities to IoT deployments. Sensitive data that cannot be sent to the cloud for processing and analysis is handled by the edge. It also reduces the latency involved in the roundtrip to the cloud. Most of the business logic that runs in the cloud is moving to the edge to provide low-latency, faster response time. Only a subset of the data generated by sensors is sent to the cloud after aggregating and filtering the data at the edge. This...

Analytics Isight - WANT TO OPT OUT OF FACIAL RECOGNITION SCREENING AT AN AIRPORT? HERE IS HOW

23 July, 2019

by Kamalika Some April 29, 2019

On a busy day of travel at the airport, what do you see? One huge queue that starts from curb to gate when you must zigzag between retractable barriers move swift from one point to the next, detouring and jamming through the terminal. The check-in, baggage drop, security checks, the warm coffee at the coffee shop, the boarding gate, the halting march down the tarmac and the flight.

Imagine a future free of security gates! You just have to walk to your plane which is as easy as you unlock your phone, without having to worry about the dangers that come with air travel. Enter the world of...

Analytics Insight - THE IMPRESSIVE GROWTH OF FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY

23 July, 2019

by Priya Dialani July 20, 2019

If we ask any celebrity what is the greatest drawback is of being known and you will probably hear some variety in regards to how troublesome it isn’t to have the option to go anyplace without being identified. Regardless (and there are a lot of examples where the two impacts exist), having a famous face implies constantly drawing in the attention of people around you.

Somewhat, we all are superstars in 2019. We’re not all rich and popular, with personal stylists and shouting fans, yet we are known in a manner that would have been outlandish in past decades. Social media urges us to curate our...

Blogthinkbig.com - Fernando Corbató, inventor de algo tan sencillo como la contraseña

22 July, 2019

Escrito por Pablo G. Bejerano, 22 de julio de 2019 a las 12:30

El doctor en física Fernando Corbató fue el hombre que inventó una de las fórmulas más sencillas, pero más útiles, de la computación: la contraseña.

El mundo de hoy no se podría entender sin contraseñas. En Internet, estas claves están por todas partes. Cada vez que entras en un servicio personalizado necesitas introducir un nombre de usuario y un código que verifique tu identidad. Es una medida de seguridad y también de orden.

El concepto de contraseña viene de antaño. Siempre ha resultado útil tener un código secreto para comprobar la...

INFO Security - Artificial Intelligence & Cybersecurity: Attacking & Defending

22 July, 2019

Leron Zinatullin Cybersecurity Risk Consultant

Cybersecurity suffers from a skills shortage in the market. As a result, the opportunities for artificial intelligence (AI) automation are vast. In many cases, AI is used to enhance and improve certain defensive aspects of cybersecurity. Prime examples are combating spam and detecting malware.

From the attacker point of view, there are many incentives to using AI when trying to penetrate others’ vulnerable systems. These incentives include the speed of attack and low costs of AI, combined with the likely situation that the system being attacked is understaffed in its cyber-...
